How to Change pacman Mirrors

Question

arch works fine, except i use the ftp.archlinux mirror and its throttled, so my download are way slower then im capable.  i followed this from the wiki
[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first     
Include = /etc/pacman.d/core
changed it to
[core]
ftp://ftp.nethat.com/pub/linux/archlinux/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/core
didnt work, tried
ftp://mirrors.unixheads.org/archlinux http a well
It wouldnt work, It even hung once so i had to restart.
So i cant figure out how to use other mirrors besides the default one and have them actally work.  I would like to be able to download faster then 50-80kbps when im capable of mb's down at a time.  I saw this in the wiki
"Aria2 Mirror Script " but it also says not to use ftp.arch linux with it, so im stuck, its all i can use.  Any options for a newb? 
maybe post a pacman.d if your in america? i dont know what im doing wrong.

It should read :
[core]
Server = ftp://ftp.nethat.com/pub/linux/archlinux/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/core
It should read:
[core]
Server = ftp://mirrors.unixheads.org/archlinux/core/os/i686/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/core
You need to specify the extra dirs, just like it does in /etc/pacman.d/core
